THE NEBRASKA
SCENE
. By the Lowell Service
Charley Bryan, in his pamphlet
boosting tax exemption of home
steads, suggests four items to be
subjected to taxation for replace
ment of the money lost thru home
stead exemption. He lists the fol
lowing:
1. State income tax on personal
incomes and a state income tax on
corporation gross receipts or net
profits.
2. Place a tax on a considerable
part of the tax-exempt securities
that will be issued in this state.
3. The state should require all
federal and state officials and fed
eral and state employees in Ne
braska to pay an income tax on the
salaries they draw from the gov
ernment.
4. A sales tax on luxuries, but
not on food, clothing, seeds, or
farm machinery.
Discussion of these methods for
replacement taxation will cause
plenty of debate, declare the poli
ticians, in the campaign. Bryan is
also lambasting bureaus, commis
sions and unnecessary agencies of
government.
The Lancaster county levy for
11)38 has been reduced to 3.75 mills
by the county board of equalization.
This is .75 of a mill less than that
for 1937. Last year the amount
brought in was estimated at $579,
136.19, and it is estimated that the
amount this year will be $483,
678.36.

dent of schools at Scottsbluff, has

resigned at Scottsbluff to accept
the post of executive secretary of
the Nebraska State Teacher’s as
sociation. He succeeds the late
Charles Bowers, the post having
been temporarily filled by Miss
Neola Skala of Lincoln, assistant
editor of the Nebraska Educational
Journal, until a successor to Mr.
Bowers could be found.
The transfer to general staff at
Washington, D. C., of Major Wal
ter A. Wood, jr., .vho has been
teaching advanced engineering in
the military department of the
University of Nebraska for the
last two years, has been announced
by Colonel W. H. Oury, command
ant. Major Wood, who with his
family, has left Lincoln for Wash
ington, is to be attached to the
transportation and supply section
on a four-year detail, effective on
August 15. He will be replaced at
the university by Captain Ralph E.
Cruse, formerly on the harbors and
rivers engineering staff at Los
Angles, Calif.
According to recent figures of
the traffic bureau, the most dan
gerous hour to drive an automo
bile in Lincoln is between 5 and G
o’clock p. m. Up to August 1, there
have been fewer traffic accidents
in 1938 than during the same peri
od in 1937. There were 1,155 ac
cidents during that period last
year and but 989 this year. The
140 traffic accidents in Lincoln dur
ing July was one less than the
number during June. Thirty-four
days have been passed without a
fatality.
A refund of 25 cents may be ob
tained at the county treasurer’s
office by any motorist who paid $1
for a renewal of his driver’s license
after December 1. The refund is
being made since the Supreme
court decided that the state could
charge only 75 cents to all persons
with old driver’s licenses, even if
they had not obtained new licenses
before December 1. Pending de
cision on the question, county
treasurers have set aside 25 cents
out of each dollar collected on re
newals.
A temporary restraining order
has been granted by District Judge
Polk to Bernard L. Knudson, pre
venting A. C. Tilley, head of the
state highway department, R. W.
Culwell, chief of the motor division
of the roads department, and R. F.
Weller, chief of the state highway
patrol, from canceling, suspending,
or revoking Knudson’s driver’s li
cense. Knudson, who was fined
$10 and costs in a court at Gibbon
on a charge of driving while in
toxicated, claims that the state de
partment has no authority to go
beyond the rulings of the court in
administering the laws. August 11
has ben set as the date for a
hearing in regard to a permanent
restraining order.
More fossil material has been
discovered in 1938 by University of
Nebraska diggers than in any other
year, according to C. Bertrand
Schultz, assistant director of the
university museum, who has just
returned to Lincoln from western
Nebraska. He says that the huge
bones of what may be the world’s
largest prehistoric camel are now
being shipped to the museum and
will soon be on display. Some very
rare fossils have been discovered
this summer. The scientists are
being helped in their excavations
by a crew of about seventy WPA
workers.
Cloid J. Wilson, Omaha attorney,
has collided with the discipline
committee of the Nebraska Bar
association. In the Supreme court
a motion was tiled to disbar Wilson,
the allegation being that he is the
sole owner of the “Wholesale
Credit Men’s Association,” and that
he used this trade name as means
to solicit collection business. In
Lincoln, the committee that is sup
posed to discipline attorneys has
been quiescent. Recently a verdict
was entered against a firm of at
torneys, finding constructive fraud.
However, the members of the bar
committee on legal discipline have
paid no attention to the judgment
of the court.
Election Commissioner Anton
Tusa refused to let Walter Jurgen
sen cast a ballot at the primary
election. Couiity Attorney James
English of Douglas county ruled
that conviction of a felony de
prived Jurgensen of the right of
franchise. The jury found Jur
gensen guilty of embezzlement.
The attorney general started oust
er proceedings, and Jurgensen was
deprived of his office.
Governor Cochran, in answer to
the protests against brake and
light testing regulations, urged all
the testing stations to use com
mon sense in checking automobiles.
The governor’s views are embodied
in a bulletin sent to all testing
stations by R. F. Weller, chief of
the state highway patrol. Com
plaints persist that some garage
men are charging unholy prices for
adjustments and replacements.
“Bear in mind," states Weller,
“that the inspection of motor ve
hicles is not intended to rule motor
vehicles off the road, but to make
safer vehicles on the highways.
State Engineer Tilley has an
nounced that plans are to filed for
a flood control, irrigation and rec
reation project near South Bend.
The project, with estimates rang
ing to two million dollars, would
involve damming the Platte river,
diggin irrigation ditches, building
a thousand air-conditioned cabins,
and beautification of hundreds of
scenic surroundings. The project
is known as '‘the Ak-Sar-Ben Dis
trict.”
